Josphat Nanok<br>has commended the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for championing digital<br>transformation and inclusivity in tax administration. Speaking at the opening of the<br>KRA Summit 2025, Hon. Nanok emphasized that efficient, customer-focused, and<br>technology-driven tax systems are central to Kenya\u2019s economic growth and the<br>realization of the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).<br>Mang\u2019eni lauded the Authority for establishing a dedicated MSME department, streamlining tax regimes, and leveraging digital tools to simplify compliance. \u201cIt is commendable that KRA has taken deliberate steps to redefine its relationship with the MSMEs. Tools such as e-TIMS and mobile-enabled platforms demonstrate a<br>decisive shift toward inclusivity and convenience.\u201d The PS said. She also noted that KRA\u2019s recent innovations are enhancing accessibility to tax<br>services, particularly for entrepreneurs in remote and underserved areas. She<br>emphasized the ongoing transformation from enforcement to facilitation, and from<br>compliance to partnership, as pivotal to improving MSME engagement with the tax<br>system. \u201cWhen entrepreneurs encounter systems that are intuitive, affordable, and responsive, compliance no longer feels like a burden\u2014it becomes a partnership,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2030\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KRA Applauded for Advancing SME Tax Compliance and Inclusivity The Deputy Chief of Staff at&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7522"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7522\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7523,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7522\/revisions\/7523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kenyatopstories.co.ke\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
